About this audiobook

In today's hyperconnected world, where our personal lives are increasingly lived online, the LGBT+ community faces unique and dangerous challenges. Swiping Rights: When Data Breaches Put You Out of the Closet explores the profound implications of data breaches for one of the world's most vulnerable groups. Yuri Gomes, through his groundbreaking research initially written in 2020 for his Master's in International Technology Law at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, examines the ways in which dating apps, surveillance and data protection regulations like the GDPR intersect with the rights and safety of LGBT+ individuals. This book digs into real-world cases, revealing how dating apps have not only facilitated connections but also exposed users to unprecedented risks, from privacy violations to targeted persecution. Gomes' critical analysis highlights gaps in current data protection policies, raising pressing questions about transparency, security, and the need for stricter measures to safeguard sensitive personal data. A must-read for those interested in the intersection of human rights, technology, and law. This study offers a timely and eye-opening exploration of how data breaches are not just a privacy concern — they can be a matter of life and death.
